Appendix

There are some people whose status is unclear due to conflicting sources, short of a definitive statement on point from the USMC itself said subjects should be listed here rather than above since their service is not definitive.

Bea Arthur – actor (The Golden Girls) – While multiple sources—including Standford University's Quiz Bowl[222] and the USMC's Marine magazine[223]—state that she was an early female Marine Corps recruit; in a 2001 Archive of American Television interview she was asked (after a WWII question) "I had read somewhere that you had joined the Marines, is that true?" and responded "oh, no".[224]
